Ella's swim collects a record
ELLA Hudson set the only new record, in the 10 years 50m breaststroke, at the St Mary's Upper Primary School swimming carnival at WIRAC yesterday.
The carnival, for students in Years 4 to 7, was won by the red house, Rooney, which scored an overall win with 651 points from Kelly (Gold) on 501 and Potter (Blue) on 434.
Ten children won age championships outright but there were two ties for runners up.
Lily Stewart and Paris Milburn were equal on points in the 12 years girls' age group while Millie Hauff and Bronte Le Sueur each won a runner-up trophy in the 11 years age group.
